Let Her Cry Poem by Black on Black Arts

She plays hide and go seek with her feelings.
Pain and anguish she has no time for.
Her heart screams out, But you will never hear it.
Thru laughter she holds back tears.
Running with nowhere to go, She lives life on life's terms forever smiling, forever dancing always running.
Her soul keeps her constellations in check orbiting her spirit.
The World around her begins to slow down.
Her emotions starts to crumble
That smile that pretty smile begins to straighten then frown.
The fire that fuels her running begins to burn away.
Her legs once energetic now is tired and sore.
She stops running.
Time catches up to her as pain and anguish sets in.
The feelings she's been hiding from has finally found her.
Her soul releases the bond on the constellations of her spirit.
A tear falls leaving a trail on her silky skin.
One by One the tears fall heavy, unrelenting a downpour of all the emotions she had buried deep, finally has a means to escape.
Each drop a pain that stains the floor.
She takes a deep breath, she knows it's coming.
The cool air she inhales a release from the vise like grip that was placed on her heart as she cries, Let her cry
